If you toot your whistle only, and jay aside your horn, there is not a iving soul will know that you were ayer born. The man who owns his acre is the man who plows all day, and the inan who keeps a humming is the man who is there to stay.

At about 3a.m. Mrs. Jonn Roger was awakened by her brother, W. Ro Erskine, who de- sired her.to wait on Mrs. Erskine who was ill, andinthe darkness of the sur- roundings and not fally wakened, she started from the gothic window for what she supposed was her bed- room to dress herself, bot instead stepped into the open stairway, falling to the bottom violently, fracturing one of the bones in her rigit arm above the wrist and otherwise bruising ber head and body severely, Mr. Roger carried her to her room and Dr. Langrill was summoned, whoset the broken bone and dressed the wounds. She might have been killed instamly, as she fell she escaped is a marvel to her§ friends who are acquainted with the sitnation she isimproving nicely and ina few days will be arennd again doubtless. This town appears to be' suffering an epidemic of serious accidents of fate. AFTER Weary WILLIES.--All the local magistrates have reevived a cir- cular from the Attorney General's de partment outlining anew policy that it is desirable should be put into "praetice in dealing with thags and meandering Mikes who infest the railway yards of eyery city, town and village. ~ Under the new system when these weary Wil- ies are gathered in. they are made ex- amples by being packed to the Centeral prison at Toroute for terms. Tte cir. enlar is as follows: "It Las been found upon investigation that most of the burglaries and other crimes of violence cominitted recently in the various parts of the province have been the work of tramps of the class usually found work- ing along the lines .of raifway and camping in the woods and barns on the outskirts of cities, towns and villages. It is deemed necessary that these men 'should be driven out of the province as scon as, possible, and that it is thought hy the department that the best way to bring about this result is for the magis trate before whorn these tramps are brought upon charges of vagrancy to impose the full term of imprisonment in the Central prison allowed by law. The practice. of giving them the option ef a fine or so many hours to clear ont af the municipality is producing very unsatisfactory results. You are re quested therefore upon any of these men being brought before yon to see Shut the law 1s strictly yigorousl J. A. MoBatn returned home from the West Wednesday night. Furs Mape Over.--Mrs. Harry Campbell begs to inform the ladies | of Atwood and vicinity that she is pre- ured to clean and make over furs, at reasonable prices. ady Miss Lizzie GRANAM returned home last week from atwo months' pleasant visit at Calgary, Woolsley, and other towns at the foot of the Rockies.

The pulpit was occupied by the Rev, D. Drummond, M. A, B.D, of Knox church, St Thomas, a specially gifted young man, whose exceilent discourses were much appreciated. Lu the morning he spoke from 2nd Cer., Srd chap, in which are fouud te words, "Ye are our epistie written in our hearts, Known and read of all men" He maintained there were not only the gospels according to Mat- thew, Mark, Luke and John, but a fifth gospel --the gospel accerding to man, io you. It was this tifth gospel that the world looked to for the exem plifica- tion of the teachings of Christ. If this fifth gospel was not observed the others would be of httle avail. In the evening he preached from the 12th chapter of Judges, part of the 6th verse: "Theo they said unto him, say pow Shibboleth: and he suid Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounee it mght." 'The dis- abont twenty-feet head foremost: how | COUrSe Was a splet.did effortin which he developed a tine of thought novel and entertaining as well as eminently to the point, He touk up the course of amusy- meuts which some people condemned in Christians le matntamed that amusements did net characterize the participant in them; the individual rather characterized the amusement lhe amusements were not wroug in themselyes, it was the abuse we made of them,resulting from an impure mind ard a diseased and disordered wature Thespeaker was not disposed to place limitations on amusements, be plac- ed wore dependenee upon the forming of true Christian character, of right habits of thought and of life, which would in turn regulate the actions, which are goyerned from within, not from without, 'The tea-meeling on Monday evening was not so largely at tended as in former years owing doubt- less to the inclement weather.
